Toronto Maple Leafs to Host NHL’s Best Rookie Since Auston Matthews

The Toronto Maple Leafs will host the Chicago Blackhawks tonight as they look to win their third straight game to start the season.

The game will mark the first glimpse that Toronto Maple Leafs fans get of Connor Bedard, the best player to enter the NHL since Auston Matthews was a rookie back in 2016.

Though Bedard is exciting (three points in three games, and a 55% XGoals despite playing on what is quite possible, at least without him, the NHL’s worst team).

Though Bedard is quite the sideshow, Leafs fans just want the two points.
